Disconnect the motor from the cables. Does the motor turn? No, you've got an electrical problem--on mine it was the parking brake switch. And the power top relay. Spendy.

If the motor works with out the drive cables attached, you have something mechanical wrong. Start with a visual inspection of the linkage--nothing can be bent or broken. The plastic ball heads, they're probably red and attach to the top frame, may be broken--it's common. Or the gears in the transmissions may be stripped. Read the Pelican fixit article completely, fixing the transmissions can be messed up if you don't know what your doing.

Replacement linkage parts are available on Ebay, I had to replace pretty much everything.
